Skating in RR looks more like THPS but with more "realistic" animations and physic inputs. The way you string tricks together and doing combos more resembles the later Tony Hawk games like Project 8 and Proving Ground than it does the EA Skate games. Still looks fun either way though, keen to try it out myself!
It also reminds me of american wasteland that game had the bmx in it too it was slept on lol but rr really does remind me of an updated version of THPS thats what the 5th one should have looked like!
Riders Republic's skateboarding feels a lot stiffer and artificial than the one in Skate 3. You can see how the skater gains momentum from nothing while doing tricks, and the tricks are replicated to perfection, while in Skate 3 it feels more natural and the flow of the movement is more realistic
@@matt2.052nope, because skating in this game is so limited. When I play any of the skate games, I have nearly full control of how I move. When I play riders republic, it feels like I’m stuck in a permanent line until I inevitably fall off. Forget using any mode besides racer, because steep and trickster make it nearly impossible to not do flips when you aren’t trying to. I tweaked my settings for hours. Safe to say, skating in this game is just ass.
I can’t seem to not flip all the time, when on trickster or steep mode. My character just randomly points his body in the most unnatural direction ever. I’ve tried all sorts of bindings and I cannot get a good skate in. Racer sucks because who wants to use buttons to do a 180? So dumb.
theres only 2 things I dont like about this, the pushing animation feels too slow and drawn out compared to the fast snappy animations for tricks, it kinda messes up the flow a bit. And the sparks on the trucks looks a bit much. Otherwise it looks awesome!
Look at how in RR his grind slows down but then he summons more grind speed out of nowhere. I don't like that....for that reason I gotta say Skate 3's still better. Also some of RR's aerial rotations look weird, like he's doing Late backflips
@@d3tuned378 skate 3 is incredibly arcadey. It is physically impossible to do most of the stuff in skate 3. The wall rides last forever, the quadruple kickflips, the crazy steep ramps at the SUMP, the flips into grinds. All very arcadey.
skate 1 and 2 are exactly like that. that doesn't make the gameplay arcadey, arcadey is a design philosophy - what you're describing is incidental physics glitches that don't conform to reality. the game design philosophy was still to keep it grounded in physics. subtle difference but it's there @@asherc2809
Their physics engine honestly needs a lot of work. Looks fun but I think a lot of the animations are way too snappy and unrealistic, it seems like the threshold to actually fall is insanely high (maybe it was set to less realistic/easy mode), that would probably break the immersion for me. Also for whatever reason starting grabs/flips in RR seems to make your character accelerate unnecessarily fast for the first half of a rotation, then it catches up and has a somewhat normal animation. Looks worth playing but definitely doesn't look like it'll dethrone the skate trilogy as the best video game skateboarding adaptation.
I hated everything about the skate 3 falling physics!! It’s a weird gimmick that’s fun for 5 minutes and it’s baked into the play style. I was so over falling like that when I enjoy rag doll wipeouts so much more haha
My 5 year old cousins can shred on skate 3. I can’t even do a 180 while skating on steep or trickster mode without my avatar pointing himself in some unnatural direction. I’ve tweaked all my settings a million times.
Regardless of Arcadey vs Realistic, if they make the game too easy it is not going to be fun or challenging. SSX Tricky and SSX 3 were both arcadey yet it took a lot of skill to land your tricks just right. SSX 2012 on the otherhand was too easy, with its magnetic auto grinds.
Skate 3 came out in 2010 while Riders Republic came out in 2021, Riders Republic was made for present day not Skate 3, a more fair comparison would be if skate 4 had released and is being compared to Riders Republic
The best games do one thing well instead of trying to make one physics engine work for nine different methods of transportation. They all end up feeling slightly off because they are.
Considering Riders Republic is more arcade like than realism, this makes sense. It's almost like the perfect middle ground between Skate and the Tony Hawk series.
I don't know why Skate players have to convince themselves they're playing a simulator while doing a 1260 double back flip christ air down a 275 ft gap.
Skate 1, 2, and 3 was great. The story and everything but No one is talking about the rider Republic graphics. Also better player mechanics and player is not stiff. Why are they better than skate? I still can't believe this.
Looks like the skate 3 have a "manual mechanic" well established, while Riders Replubic has a "arcade style" remembering TH Videogame series, where you can just push a button and grind a eletric wire. I'm opinion, Skate 3 and all skate serie its for players who like the manual style that the game brought to us, while Riders Republic bring the tony hawk pro skater mechanic (specifically THPS 5 and THPS HD) of arcade game in a modern engine to players who likes most
why have i never heard about riders rebublics skateboarding. that looks really good. maybe too easy/ arcade. but if its going for a skate style then its pretty damn good. skate 4 has its work cut out for it. sharing a skatepark in riders republic with skaters and bikers sound like a cool idea.
It’s not good. Don’t buy it if you are wanting a good skate game. I’m a demigod at the skate games and I can’t even do 180’s on this game without doing a gymnastic routine.
I wish RR would include more snowmobile content. Or maybe I should just buy "Snowmobile Challenge" again for the PS3. Can't wait for the skateboard content to release!
Skate 3 is the best skating game ever, it is like fight night champion as the best boxing game, 10+ years old games that are better than today generation
both unique in their own ways and honestly skate 3 still holds up to this day, but right now fuck em both. Sessions/SkaterXL is where my heads been at lately
Rider Republic seems like a slightly more realistic THPS. Skate is much more realism based. Riders Republic seems fun to play, it seems much more forgiving in it's tricks for the fun factor. I've noticed for a game like that, you need a lot of maps or else being too good will get boring pretty fast
Exactly why games that are made for that specific sport(example skate for skateboarding) riders republic can’t compete bc RR jus doesn’t have enough tricks an enough spots so after learning all the tricks an being good it gets boring very fast, don’t get me wrong still a fun ass sport arcade game, I recommend trying it out if ur into this stuff,good that RR adding some new maps for skating n BMX but even then wit no new tricks for bmx an very little tricks on skateboards those maps won’t matter,give it less then 2 weeks an it’ll die out again
You can tell someone never stepped on a board when they put EA Skate and "realistic/realism" in the same sentence. The only "realistic" feeling I guess is the flick of the stick representing the flick of the board. But that was already in THP8, Skate just improved it.
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo It's only unrealistic if you play Skate like an autistic trickliner. Tell me you've seen at least a few realism montages of Skate on YT. People get surprisingly realistic given the physics of Skate because there is an upper limit to the animations and you can "break" the game really quickly if you stray too far from the structure the devs made for it. What else do we have for "realistic" skateboarding? Skater XL? Session? Two games with stiff as hell characters, wonky gravity that either slows you down too quickly or makes you fall too fast, and no sense of weight or momentum in the physics system. That's the biggest problem with SXL and Session. They don't have that visual sensation of weight/momentum being thrown around. This alone makes Skate more engaging to play simply because it was the one thing it absolutely nailed. It both controls and visually looks like your character is heavy, especially in Skate1/2. This is what makes Skate so satisfying to play, even after 15+ years.
Reminder Skate 3 came out in 2010. The fact that its still up to and or above par in fun factor and gameplay then most games still amazes me.
Can definitely tell the difference in generations by the way they play.😂

no skating game will EVER be better than skate 3.
maybe skate 4 tho

It’s fun as in THPS fun, you can’t compare this to skate because you handle skating in a totally different way.
